RSSThis from the Daily Mail:
Jules has 34 internal motors covered with flexible rubber ('Frubber') skin, which was commissioned from roboticist David Hanson in the US for BRL.It was originally programmed to act out a series of movements - as can be seen in the video - where 'Jules' talks about 'destroying Wales'.
The technology works using ten stock human emotions - such as happiness, sadness, concern etc - that the team 'taught' Jules via programming.
The software then maps what it sees to Jules's face to combine expressions instantly to mimic those being shown by a human subject.
Jules was created by David Hanson of Hanson Robotics
Creeepy!

Yo,this robot guy is crazy because he does look like a real person,but he quoted "I would like to destroy the earth.'' That is not a good thing because robots do not destroy the earth and they do not look like humans.
